Professionally designed to be EASY to PLAY!
Creating a truly easy-to-play guitar wasn't easy. And at Epiphone, we take building a great guitar seriously, no matter the level of players. So, Epiphone has redesigned the guitar from the ground up to make it an instrument that everyone can play right away. The result is a truly PRO guitar that is easy to play, easy to own, and most importantly, delivers the full, vibrant sound that Epiphone is known for. The PRO-1 Classic is the result of exhaustive analysis, numerous technological innovations and suggestions from a large number of professional players. And now it's time to play!
EASY-TO-USE FEATURES
The PRO-1 Ultra acoustic/electric guitar has all the innovative, easy-to-play features of PRO-1 Collections:
- Less fatigue. Wrap your hand around the PRO-1 Ultra neck and you will immediately feel how comfortable it is. Our new EZ-Profile neck is designed so your hand can easily form chords without feeling tired.
- Effortless contact wear. Epiphone JumboPRO frets make fretting notes and chords seem effortless. JumboPRO frets are taller and wider than small frets. So when you push a string down, it's easier to make string contact with the fret with less hand fatigue and finger rubbing.
- Shorter is easier. Scale length is the distance from the bridge saddle to the saddle. The shorter the length of the ladder, the looser the strings. As the PRO-1s scale length is almost 1x shorter than most acoustic guitars, the strings are less stretched, so you don't need to press hard to get a good sound. And since the frets are closer together, making chords is easier!
- Make friction fiction. Rubbing strings and fingerboards not only slows down your playing, but can also hurt you. Our PRO-Ease string and fingerboard coating provides smooth, smooth action while reducing string noise.
- No pain, no gain? NonsenseEpiphone believes in the absence of pain. Lighter strings are easier to play, which is why every PRO-1 is equipped with Epiphone Ultra-Light strings.
- Easy action. With the Epiphones Dual-Action adjustment rod, you can adjust the neck in either direction, which not only stabilizes the neck, but also makes installation easier and more precise.
Easy to use
The PRO-1 Classic is a classic-style acoustic guitar with a Select Cedar top. Cedar is one of the favorite “tone woods” of classical guitar luthiers for its “soft” and individual sound. PRO-1s Custom PRO-Prietary Bracing allows the natural tone of the Select Cedar top to resonate with clear highs and balanced lows so a player can easily hear their progress while developing their guitar vocabulary with chords and passages.
The PRO-1 Classic uses mahogany for the back, sides and neck. Mahogany is also a wood of choice for classical guitars and is a perfect complement to the Select Cedar top, helping to acoustically amplify the incredible tone of the PRO-1 Classics and also providing the guitar with a stable foundation in all environments. The beauty of cedar and mahogany gives the PRO-1 Classic a sophisticated profile. Additionally, the PRO-1 Classic has a reduced body depth that makes it easy to hold for long hours of gaming.
Materials
The PRO-Classic has an EZ-profile D-shaped neck with a nut width of 1.75, slightly narrower than traditional classical guitars. The closer spacing makes it easier to access all the strings when learning chords.
Another innovation that the PRO-1 Classic offers is a shorter scale, which makes learning chords faster. PRO-Ease Lubricant makes the fretboard smooth and worn on your fingers, and JumboPRO frets make it easy to hold custom Epiphones Light Gauge classic strings.
A guitar that plays this easily should be able to get in tune and stay in tune quickly. The PRO-1 Classic is equipped with Epiphone Deluxe tuners, which have 16:1 ratios that make finding the right pitch quick and intuitive. Regular classical guitar tuners only have a 14:1 ratio, which makes tuning difficult because the string never quite settles into the right place. But tuning is easy with the PRO-1 Classic because the higher 16:1 gear ratio allows you to adjust your tuning more precisely so it's easier to find the right tone and tune. stay there.
